Abstract:
Sebaceous carcinoma is a rare malignant appendageal tumor of the skin and is usually located on the meibomian glands if the eyelid. We present a case of sebaceous carcinoma developed in a scapulir area. A 77-year old male had been suffering from a 3x2.5 cm sized ulcerated mass with an indurated margin an the left scapular area for 10 years. Histopathologirally, irregular, lobular formations were composed of sebaceous and undifferentiated cells showing considerable variation in the shape and size of their nuclei. We removed the lesion by surgical excision and could not find any recurrence for 30 months.
